Managing

This
feature

allows

you

import

a

template

file

that

is

not

complete

and

that

you

may

want

to

edit
further
using

the

ANM

template

editor

(see

the

“Editing

an

Application

Template

Definition

Using
the
ANM

Template

Editor”

section

on

page

4-18 ).

•
The
import
process

does

not

check

the

file

to

ensure

that
the
ACE
configuration
attributes

are
structured
correctly.

To

test

the

ACE

configuration

attributes,

use

the

template

test

feature

(see

the
“Testing
an

Application

Template

Definition”

section

on

page

4-28 ).

•
You
can

import
application
template

definitions

that

you

created

for
use

with

ANM

5.1,

which

used
an
earlier

version

of

the

XML

schema.

When

you

import

the

template,

ANM

modifies

the

template
root
element

as

required

by

the

current

version

of


the

XML

schema.

Thi

s

modification

does

not
affect
t

he

ACE

configuration.
